Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 130

Monica already had doubts about Jenny's sudden change, and now she became more suspicious of this. Was Jenny deliberately trying to deceive her and then find a chance to set her up?

Although this idea was a little crazy, she did not dare to be careless. She smiled faintly and said, "Well, I'd like to add some milk in the soup."

As she spoke, she turned around. Lassie followed behind her. After a while, Monica turned around and stopped Lassie. "Oh, I forgot one thing. Last time, Coco was greatly frightened when he was taken back by Madam Huo. He has always been afraid to see her and you. You'd better not go in, or he'll cry."

Lassie stopped and asked awkwardly, "Is he even afraid of me?"

"Yes, since he came out of the hospital that day, he has been saying that the two bad women are really detestable. He said that if they bullied him again, he would ask the police to arrest them." It was actually not the case. Coco only said that he wanted the police to arrest Jenny. Monica just wanted to embarrass Lassie, so she said so.

Lassie felt even more embarrassed. "Well, I'll wait for you here."

Monica smiled at her and turned to walk into the living room.

Xanjer looked at the thermal lunchbox in her hand and asked, "What is it? Who gave it to you?" "Uncle, this is the bird's nest soup that Jenny asked Lassie to send me." Monica put the lunchbox on the tea table.

Xanjer was surprised. "What? Isn't it the same as what Madrigal said? Is there really something wrong with the bird's nest?"

Monica took a look at Coco, who was sitting on the ground and playing with the car toy seriously. She motioned Xanjer to follow her into the kitchen and told him about Lassie's strange behavior just now.

Xanjer's face darkened. "If that's the case, there must be something wrong in the soup. Don't eat it."

"Don't worry, I won't." Monica opened the lunchbox. She looked at the soup inside with a strange look on her face.

The color of the soup was orange red and the soup had a sweet smell. It was not like any bird's nest she'd ever eaten.

"Hey, why is the soup so red? It's impossible!" When Monica was in the Huo family, she had eaten a lot of tonics in order to get pregnant. In addition, the Huo family was a rich family, so she had eaten bird's nest many times. Monica felt that something was wrong with the bird's nest soup.

Xanjer went up and picked up the lunchbox to take a sniff. His face changed dramatically. "There's saffron in it."

"What?! Saffron?"

"That's right." Xanjer took a pair of chopsticks into the thermal lunchbox. Then, he picked up a slender orange stem and said with a serious expression, "Look, this is saffron. The one who made the soup left it behind."

Monica took a deep breath. She knew that Xanjer often read medical books for Coco's illness. Recently, he studied Chinese herbal medicine every day. It was not surprising that he knew saffron. She had suspected that Jenny would put something in the soup, but she didn't expect that it was saffron. It was known that saffron could cause abortion. Was Jenny trying to kill her child?

Thinking of this, Monica trembled. "This old witch is so vicious! She even wants to kill my child."

"I think there is something wrong with this matter. She clearly knows that your baby is Quarmy's and this baby can save Coco. Why would she want to kill the baby?" Xanjer was calmer than Monica.

Monica gnashed her teeth and said, "Because I broke her leg, and Quarmy defied her for me."

Xanjer shook his head. "I don't think so. Coco and your baby are her grandsons. No matter how cruel she is, she won't do anything to her grandsons."

Monica disagreed. "For Jenny, Madrigal is pregnant with her grandsons. She has always liked that b*tch. Now the b*tch is pregnant with twins. For her, Madrigal's kids are more important than mine."

"No, she wants grandsons so much that she won't care about who gave birth to them. I think there must be something wrong with it. Who sent the soup to you?"

"It's her carer, Lassie. I let her wait in the garden."

Xanjer raised his eyebrows. "What if this carer did it?" "I'm not her enemy. How could she want to hurt me? Even if she did it, it must be Jenny who ordered her to do so." In the past few years in the Huo family, Monica had been very polite to Lassie. She thought that she had never offended Lassie, so Lassie would not hurt her. However, Lassie had been a carer in the Huo family for many years, and she always followed Jenny's orders. If Jenny ordered her to do this, she would not dare to disobey.

Xanjer pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you ask Lassie about this?"

"Okay, I'll ask her now." Monica also felt that Xanjer's words made senses. She quickly took the lunchbox and was about to leave. Then, Xanjer stopped her.

"Wait a minute, keep some of it as evidence. Show the saffron to her."

Monica understood that Xanjer was afraid that Jenny would deny it, so she did as he said.

Monica walked out and saw Lassie looking anxiously into the living room. She was even more annoyed. She walked up to her and put the lunchbox in her arms. She said sternly, "Lassie, look at this. How dare you bring it to me?"

Lassie looked at the thermal lunchbox in confusion. "Isn't this the bird's nest?" Then she opened the lunchbox.

Monica pointed to the thermal lunchbox and said, "Have you seen it clearly? Isn't this color strange? Why does it smell so sweet? You have been in the Huo family for so many years, you should know bird's nest better than me, right?"

Lassie stared at the bird's nest in the thermal lunchbox and exclaimed, "Oh, why is this so red? Madam clearly said that it was from Malaysia. Why does it look like a defective product?"

"Defective product? It's obvious that there is saffron inside. Look." Monica picked up the saffron.

"Saffron? No way?" Lassie widened her eyes and looked at the saffron incredulously.

"Stop acting!" Monica sneered. "No wonder you asked me to eat it right away. Tell me honestly, did Jenny ask you to do so?"

Lassie waved her hand vigorously. "No, no. The bird's nest soup was made by Madam herself. I'm only responsible for taking it to you. I really don't know what's going on. If you don't believe me, you can ask Madam."

"Okay, then let's go to the Huo family." Monica took the lunchbox and dragged Lassie out.

Lassie just struggled a little and followed her out of the villa. She didn't look panic, but puzzled.

Monica felt that Lassie was innocent. If Lassie did it, she would definitely be very scared. Jenny had been mean to Lassie. If Lassie was ordered by Jenny to do so, since the plan failed, Jenny would definitely blame Lassie and scold Lassie severely.

It seemed that this was really done by Jenny. Monica didn't expect that the old witch would be so cruel.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When the driver of the Huo family saw them coming out, he immediately got out of the car and opened the car door. Monica got in the car directly, so did Lassie. On the way, Lassie defended Jenny and said that Jenny would not be so malicious. She must have done it by accident.

Monica glared at Lassie. "Don't tell me she's blind. Can't she even tell bird's nest from saffron?"

Lassie hurriedly explained, "No, I mean, the saffron is for Madam herself. When she was making bird's nest soup for you, she got the two things mixed up."

Monica sneered. "Hmph, why does she eat saffron? Is she having an irregular menstruation or she just gave birth to a child? Isn't she too old for this?"

Lassie paused for a moment before she realized that Monica was satirizing Jenny, because postmenopausal women didn't need saffron. She smiled apologetically and said, "Isn't saffron a beauty tonic? Maybe that's why she eats it."

"All right, you don't have to explain it for her." Monica interrupted her. She only felt that it was ridiculous. Even if the saffron was for Jenny herself, she wouldn't make the soup herself, let alone put the saffron into the bird's nest.

Lassie shut up. Looking at Monica's gloomy face, she dared not say a word.

The car drove into Huo Residence. Monica got off the car. Lassie followed her closely.

Walking into the living room, Monica put the lunchbox on the tea table, sat down on the sofa and said to Lassie,

"Where is Jenny?"

"When I left, Madam was taking a nap upstairs. She should be sleeping now." Lassie answered.

"Why don't you call her down?"

"Madam doesn't like to be disturbed. Miss Mo, I think you'd better wait here for a while. Let's talk about it when she wakes up."

"Why is she still sleeping? Is she afraid to come out because she feels guilty?" Monica sneered. "Well, I'll go upstairs."

As she spoke, she walked upstairs. Lassie stopped her. "Miss Mo, you can't go upstairs."

"What are you doing? I asked you to call her down, you refused. Why do you stop me from going upstairs?" After that, she shook off Lassie's hand and went upstairs.

Lassie followed her. Then, the phone in the living room suddenly rang. Lassie turned around to answer the phone.

Monica had lived here for many years and knew where Jenny's bedroom was. She went upstairs without waiting for Lassie.

Jenny's bedroom was on the right side of the second floor. Monica walked to the door, raised her hand and knocked on the door. No one came to open the door, so she knocked again. After a while, she was a little impatient and pushed the door open.

As soon as she entered the room, she was stunned. On the wooden floor in front of the bed, Jenny lay motionless on the ground, as if she had fainted.

Monica hurried over and squatted down. Jenny's eyes were closed and her face was pale. There was a palm print on her face. Her forehead was red and swollen, as if it had been hit by something.

Monica's heart sank. She patted Jenny gently on the shoulder and called her twice. Jenny didn't have any reaction, so Monica hurriedly checked her breathing. It was very weak. Monica couldn't help but be more anxious. She called Lassie twice and took out her mobile phone to call the ambulance.

When she was on the phone, Lassie came up. When Lassie saw the situation in the room, she jumped up. "Oh, Miss Mo, what did you do to Madam? Did you hit her?"

Monica hung up the phone and frowned. "What are you talking about? I saw her lying on the ground as soon as I came in. I don't know what happened."

Lassie stared at her suspiciously. "Impossible. When I left, Madam was still fine. How could she fall to the ground for no reason? Look at the palm print on her face. You must have hit her and pushed her to the ground. How can you do this?"

"I didn't. Don't talk nonsense." Monica was anxious and angry. She really didn't expect that she would be misunderstood. Glancing at the unconscious Jenny, she knew that it was not the time to argue, so she asked Lassie to carefully turn Jenny over. Then, she covered Jenny with the quilt so that she would not get cold.

While she was doing these things, Lassie went downstairs and shouted, "Help! Madam fainted! Help!"

Monica ignored her. She picked up her phone and called Quarmy. "Moni, what's the matter?'1 Quarmy's voice was full of joy. It was rare for Monica to call him.

Monica bit her lip and said, ''Quarmy, I am in your house now. Your mother fainted. Come back quickly."

Quarmy took a deep breath. "What did you say? What happened to my mother?"

"I don't know what's going on either. You'd better come back quickly!" At this time, Monica couldn't explain the whole thing clearly. She decided to wait for Quarmy to come back and tell him the whole story in person.

Quarmy, who was on the other side of the phone, said urgently, "Okay, I'll go back right away. Did you call an ambulance?"

"Yes. It should arrive soon."

As the phone was hung up, there were footsteps and noises outside the door. Lassie ran upstairs again, followed by Jenny's driver and security guard.

Lassie pointed at Jenny and said to them, "Bring Madam up and send her to the hospital."

Monica quickly stopped her. "She has a head injury now. Don't move her. We have to wait for the doctors."

"The hospital is a little far from here. We don't know how long it will take them to come here. Why don't we send her to the hospital by ourselves?" Lassie said as she pushed the driver's arm. "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and lift Madam up."

"I told you to wait for the doctors. Why don't you listen to me?" Monica stopped Lassie. "It's her who hurt Madam. We can't listen to her. Hurry up and send Madam to the hospital. Hurry up!" Lassie didn't listen to Monica.

"Lassie, can you be responsible if she gets worse?" Monica was angry.

Hearing that, Lassie did not speak but called Quarmy. "Mr. Huo, come back quickly. Madam fainted."

About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived. The medical staff had a preliminary examination of Jenny. They carefully carried her onto the stretcher and sent her to the ambulance.

Monica and Lassie got into the ambulance and went to the hospital. On the way, Monica called Quarmy to ask him to go directly to the hospital.
